After a truly awful start to the year, I've picked up the pace once I had the 'all clear' to run from the physio.
The
Canadian football season doesn't start until the end of May, so I'm
using the turn in weather (no snow on the ground) as pre-season. Every
time I think of 'pre-season', I see in my mind Micky Quinn running his
pre-season distances with a bin liner on to sweat out the beer. None of
that for me, though. I'm just running everywhere I can get away with -
running to football training, running to physio (!), running to the
cinema, and running with my mate James in training for a 10km.
A
few good runs during the week, and a big distance on the weekend has
made me hit around 20-30 miles a week. The graph shows the massive
change a few good solid weeks make. That blue line is getting closer.
It is going to be 15 degrees today in Toronto, too. Get in.
